PATENT OFFICE.

JAMES c. KIMSEY, or PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, assreNoR To AMERICAN PAPER BOTTLE COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLE 'VANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.

v PROCESSOF MAKI G P PER RECEPTACLE SQ Be it known that I, JAMES C. KIMISEY, a citizen of the United States, residingin Phila delphia, Pennsylvania, have invented Implrovements in the Process of Making Paper.

eceptacles, of which the following is a specification- I The main object of my invention is to reinforce the open end of a aper cup or other receptacle and to form a s oulder thereon in order to prevent the cups becoming tightlyjammed when nested.

A further object of my invention is to utilize part of the tube from which the cup is made,

as the reinforcin -section.

In the present instance the body of the cup is made tapered, bein smaller at the base' than at the open end.- he body A is made from aper Wrapped around a tapered former and c osed at one end by a bottom B. This bottom is flanged at b, and the end a-of the tube is turned under the flange and secured thereto by any adhesive material. When 'the tube is turned in, as shown,'a lockingdisk B, preferably also of paper, but some- What heavier than the bottom ofthe cup, is

forced into the space formed by the flange,

so as to retain the turned-in portion a in osition against theflange bof the bottom. s disk may be attached to the bottom by cement or other adhesive material, ifdesired; This method of securing the bottom to the a body of the cup is illustrated and claimed in another'a plication for-patent, and therefore I do not 0 aim it in this application. I

--VVhen tapered'cups are nested in the manner shown in Fig. 5, they tend to adhere one to another, and it is with greatdifiieulty that they can be separated after remaining for any considerable length oftime nested. To

obviate this and to make the open end of the cup stronger, I place a reinforcing-ring l) on the outside of the body A at or near the end,

preferably-directly at the end, and this Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed'December '1, 1904. Serial No. 235,884.

- Patented Jan. 30, race.

I can secure to the body by any suitable adhesive material.

' Referrin now to Fig. 4, I is a tubeof any length desired. This tube in the presentiln.

stance is cut on the lines a: :r x 11: a3, so as to make threelbody-sections A A A of diflerent diameters, and between these body-sections are ring-sections D D D The paper from which the cup is made is of such a taper compared to the thickness and the length of the rin -section that the body ortion A can pass through the tin .D and t e ring will snugly fit the open en of the body ortion, as indicated in Fi 2.,

while the ring D will fit the open end 0 the .body portion A, and the ring D will fit the open end of the body portion A same time form a shoulder which can rest so as to prevent-the body portion of the cups coming into such contact as to cause them to adhere one to another.

B .7? this arrangement I provide a solid ring which 1 will add great strength to the cup and at the It will be understood that the ring may be made from a separate tube, if desired; but I find that the above-described method is the or other containers having tapered body portions it may beused to advanta e on a rece tacle having a. body ameter throughout.

' I claim as my invention- 1. The process herein described of makportion o an even ing a paper receptacle, said rocess consistmg in forming a tapered tu e of paper, of

such a taper compar'ed tothe thickness of the same -that a ring-section cut fromthe large end of the tube will fit snugly around the body at the large end thereof, cutting a ring;

section from the large end of the tube, and passing the tapered tube through the rim and vsecurin the ring to the peri hery of the ar e I I as described.

end of t e tube, substantial y 2. The process herein described of making paper receptacles, said process consisting in forming a tapered tube of pa er or other suitable material, cutting the tu e into seceons, the alternate. sections being cut to form the bodies ofthe receptacles, and the other sections being cut to form the reinforc ing ring-sections, passin the large ends of vthe ring-secti0ns over t e smaller ends of In testimony whei'eof I have sighed my I name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
